Daren, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I met Vince at a Cardinal game when we reserved a skybox in old Busch stadium a number of years ago. Several people attended, including Daren and Vince. It was a joy to see his passion for the game and the redbirds. What a great Cardinal fan Vince was. He will be missed!!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Vincent was a wonderful young man that brought anincredible amount of joy to those that met him. MDA campers and volunteers have been outpouring their love for him on facebook, and with every picture comes another excellent memory. Thank you for sharing him with us for so many years. He brought inspiration to my life and many others.

My thoughts and prayers are with Vincent's family. I went to Blessed Sacrament with Vincent and remember when he would chase us around the playground with a big smile on his face when he got his first electric wheelchair. He was always such a happy person and a delight to be around. Now the Perrero family has the best guardian angel. Rest in Peace, Vincent.
